Finding Farholt

Finding Farholt (2012) Post 273

A few years ago, I had the bright idea for a fantasy adventure series; a full-blown quest, but written for readers of mid primary school. I had a lot of fun developing the plan for the whole series, and wrote the first book. Just for fun, I also wrote the non-fiction story of how the series/book was conceived and how I went about things thereafter... This companion, Finding Farholt is the story of the first month of this project, written especially for those interested in how stories become, and also for those who dream of finding their own version of Farholt - the book of their dreams. There is a not-so-happy sequel to this series, but in case you're interested, the website is at http://www.thefairiesoffarholt.com/

ABOUT THE BLOG

Sally is Sally Odgers; author, manuscript assessor, editor, anthologist and reader. She runs http://www.affordablemanuscriptassessments.com and Prints Charming Books. (Sally is me, by the way, and I am lots of other things too, but these are the relevant ones for now.)

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
